Re: Pango Rendering API

[soheil hassas yeganeh <hassas ce sharif edu>]

Dear All

I made an XftDraw as noah said, and I drew a Rectangle on that Draw so I
think my XftDraw is a correct XftDraw but when I call pango_xft_render()
it did not render anything on that draw.
And I call pango_itemize and pango_shape before the rendering API, they
did their job well and created correct glyphs for me but when I passed
these correct structs (XftDraw, Color, Font, GlyphString , ... ) to
pango_xft_render() it did not work well for me.
I'm sure that these font is handeled buy Xft section of pango API


context = gtk_widget_create_pango_context(widget);
list = pango_itemize(context,
                x,
                0,
                4,
                attrs,
                NULL);
item = list->data;
if(list)
{
        if(item->analysis.shape_engine)
        {
                printf("%x\n", item->analysis.font);
                gls = pango_glyph_string_new();
                pango_shape(x, 4, &(item->analysis) , gls);
        }


}

font = pango_context_load_font
             (context, pango_font_description_from_string("serif 20"));

pango_xft_render                 (xftdraw,
                                  &color,
                                  font,
                                  gls,
                                  100,
                                  100);
